Happy New Year. I hope that you've all managed to eek out some down time over the festive season. It's hard to believe that January is almost behind us. I am struggling to get back into the swing of things but I know that's not unusual. I suspect we live our lives at such a fast pace that when we slow down a little, we crave more quiet, calm and still moments. We need them to regenerate our minds and bodies and to remind ourselves of what in our life is most important. But I won't go on. This really is just a quick note to let you know that I have just listed my beautiful new colours to my online shop.

The new colours are natural white, sand, putty, dusty rose and dusty blue in both the 5kg and 1.5kg bumps. I am expecting silver and black to arrive next week. There are limited quantities available at the moment. For a myriad of reasons, I'm not in the position to build my little yarn business quickly but that's not my style anyway. I want to build a sustainable business, one built on integrity, ethics, originality, quality and an enduring beautiful aesthetic. So for now, these runs are limited.

1.5kg bumps in white, sand, putty, dusty rose and dusty blue.

I am working with the Mill to produce a broader range of solid colours and we are sampling at the moment. Heathers will follow soon after and I am hoping by the end of this year that I will have a comprehensive range of colours to offer you.

Once I catch up on my back log of emails I will start the process of developing patterns for you all to use. Bear with me. I am a Capricorn after all and so it just takes me a little longer to make my way up that mountain. But get there I will.
